Chu Yu loves seafood, and Shen Jun always saves the best seafood for her daughter. After eating the mantis shrimp she made, Chu Yu licked her fingers with satisfaction.
"Mom, how's Chu Jiali's business?"
"That's good, Chu Yu. Mom has been quite emotional about doing business lately."
"How so?"
Shen Jun smiled. "Before, Mom thought that people had to work hard to earn money and have a good life. But after living my life again, I've seen through a lot of things. Look at Mom's buffet restaurant, Chu Jiali was indeed quite good, but aren't there plenty of good buffet restaurants in the future? There's no competition in this era, people haven't seen much of the world, and it's especially easy to succeed in business. That's what people mean when they say, 'Even a pig can fly if it's standing in the right place at the right time.' Mom just feels like she doesn't have any real skills, and making money so easily feels like cheating on an exam. It makes me uneasy."
Chu Yu was amused by Shen Jun. If Shen Jun wasn't reliable, wouldn't it be even more unreliable for her to rely on her memories to make waves in the South China Sea and frantically buy land?
"Mom, you're right. Life choices are more important than hard work, and timing is more important than choices. But, there are always some people in this world who are born with good fortune. If you're not at ease earning this little bit of money, then think about those children who are born into wealth, inheriting billions without having to do anything. Are they at ease?"
Shen Jun laughed. Chu Yu was right. Chu Jiali's four stores could only earn a few hundred thousand a month. It sounded like a lot, but compared to those who resold state supplies and did illegal business, her buffet business was exceptionally clean.
In late May, before the thesis defense at Tsinghua University, the school held an event to take graduation photos for the students.
Chu Yu unexpectedly saw an acquaintance at the graduation photo shoot.
"Yan Hongzhe?"
After spending two years as an exchange student abroad, Yan Hongzhe appeared much more mature than he had been in his sophomore year. The academic atmosphere overseas had honed him to become even more outstanding.
Yan Hongzhe pushed up his glasses and smiled, "Chu Yu, long time no see."
When did you get back?
"Yesterday's plane."
In recent years, Yan Hongzhe has learned a lot of professional knowledge abroad. In the field of computer science, China is at least thirty years behind other countries. The knowledge that Professor Yan Hongzhe taught him was something he had never learned in mainland China. He was like a dried sponge, eager to swim in the sea of knowledge and eager to absorb knowledge.
Yan Hongzhe grew up quickly, and he couldn't wait to return to the mainland to share his experiences with Chu Yu.
As Chu Yu listened to Yan Hongzhe's explanation of the advanced technology of foreign computers, Yan Hongzhe spoke eloquently, revealing the passion and enthusiasm of the young man to Chu Yu.
Chu Yu nodded repeatedly, "Yan Hongzhe, I'm so glad you've learned so much since you went abroad. It's true that China's computer development is not as advanced as that of foreign countries, but with the foundation laid by our generation, I believe that the future of China's computer industry will not be too bad."
Yan Hongzhe laughed. He rarely met anyone smarter than him. Chu Yu was not only smart but also had ideals and ambitions. Chu Yu could understand his youthful feelings and his sense of mission to his country.
"By the way, what are your plans after graduation?" Yan Hongzhe asked.
Chu Yu was likely to disappoint him. "I still want to make money. I plan to develop real estate in Nanhai and Pengcheng, expand my film and television company and cosmetics company, and this year my clothing store will add 50 chain stores, and a brand new bag brand will also be launched."
Yan Hongzhe was deeply disappointed. He was a man who regarded money as dirt, and he couldn't understand Chu Yu's pursuit of it.
Isn't it enough to just have enough money?
Working in real estate means dealing with money and businessmen all day long. Where would you find the joy of learning computers and exploring the ocean of knowledge?
"Chu Yu, don't you want to go abroad to broaden your horizons, learn from the barbarians' superior techniques to subdue them?"
Chu Yu smiled and shook her head, giving him an affirmative answer: "Yan Hongzhe, I have my own life plan. There are countless ways to love one's country, not just studying. I will love my country in my own way."
Yan Hongzhe didn't say much this time. After taking his graduation photos and defending his thesis, he planned to fly abroad to continue his studies and would only return to China after completing his postgraduate degree.
Chu Yu was genuinely happy for him; every ambitious student in China deserves to be treated kindly.
"Congratulations, Yan Hongzhe! I hope that although we may take different paths, we can ultimately stand together at the top and contribute our strength to the future of China!"
